It’s gonna be tough to beat Alexander Ullom’s IT ENDS as the film of @celluloidscreams.bsky.social for me - an insanely confident, self-assured, moving, hilarious, scary existential crisis. That it was made by such a young group of talented people is truly proof that the kids are gonna be alright.

Day 3 of @celluloidscreams.bsky.social, and possibly the one with the most new films I'm looking forward to. MAN FINDS TAPE! HEAD LIKE A HOLE! IT ENDS! And of course the DEATHSTALKER remake!

Another great day at @celluloidscreams.bsky.social. One film I really didn't like, but SILVER SCREAMERS, THE OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM and WE BURY THE DEAD were all great, and MARTYRS was so horrible it made someone do a sick.

Shout out to the shorts as well, especially THE LENNOX-FRIEDKIN TAPE #004, which was disturbing as fuck, and brilliantly put together for a student film.
